Great list of favorite names! I like that they walk the line between familiar-feeling (i.e. not random made-up names) but unique. They are also feminine, but not overly-so, and have a certain strength to them.

Ash-From your list I really like Liliana. It's a nice alternative to the ever popular Lily. I do have a soft spot for names ending in Ana/Anna. My favorite being Julianna. I pronounce Anna with a long A sound. I don't personally like how the short A sounds. I think it takes away from the beauty of the name. I've always loved the nickname Jewels too. At one point had this name high up on my list. It fell off the list pretty quick since hubby is highly allergic to J names lol. I also like Tess but I prefer Tessa. It sounds more complete and prettier in my opinion. How do you feel about Theresa with Tess/Tessa as a nickname? That way she can choose what she prefers to be called as she gets older.
